Allison Brown Simmons

As a young girl, Allison recalls growing up around the gallery and frame shop. When she and her brother, Joel, weren’t getting treats at Campbell’s Bakery they were watching the framer in the shop. Allison studied business at Mississippi State University before starting work at the family’s gallery in 1984. She began in the shop putting pictures into frames. She watched her mother involved in all aspects of the business and soon learned the art of framing design. Allison is an avid runner and reader. She has also been known to bring in to the gallery the occasional lost cat or two.
